We know the Deadlift is known as a “pull” movement, but have you ever thought about pushing it ?
If you haven’t, chances are this cue is gonna help you immensely, especially when it comes to recruiting and generating a lot of power through your legs, which are often neglected when deadlifting, especiallg as a beginner.
Quite in fact novice lifters fail to understand that the deadlift requires alot of leg drive and not only the help of your back muscles.
Sure, the deadlift is a mix of pulling and pushing, but next time. Try giving this cue a go when performing the movement.
Think about pushing the floor away, or “pushing the earth away”, you’ll notice a huge difference in technique and performance!
Hope this helps!
